I'm not bothered about the guests who've let me down as my gran hit the nail on the head......the people who do turn up are the ones who count xx

It took me 9 months to get it off it was hard work but it was worth it xx

Today has been another busy one walked into town picking up bits and bobs picked up my mils fruit cake for the wedding urns up and they've sent a alternative cake :mad: but after looking online the cake they sent is worth £100 and as an apology they gave me £10 cash :T so all in all the £100 cake only cost me £6 :rotfl: bargain xx

Been fake tanned looks so dark only a few more hours before I can wash it off xx Been ironing since I got in cleaned the living room now need to pack the kids stuff as there going to their grans hen we go on honeymoon so all there stuff is ironed just need to get it packed away xx

Bob phoned to say he'd picked the kilts up then informed me the best man has bought him a hip flask when the best man told me he was buying him cuff links :mad: so angry as I wanted to get him personalised ones but nooooooooo he insisted he was buying them luckily my sister was in town so she's bough him racing car ones (he's a mechanic) s hopefully they'll be ok xx

Right off to pack these bags xx

Kind of a spendy day yesterday as need to get school stuff in for my oldest who is off to high school in two weeks :eek: so bought her a Adidas bag reduced from £26.99 down to £19.49 two pair of knee high socks for £5 and a pair of school shoes for £12 so got a few bargains just need to get her shirts another skirt and black v neck jumpers asda seem to have a good selection so going their on Monday to check out what their sizes are like then ill order the stuff online xx

Husband is away on a interview for another job much better paid and better prospects as well so fingers crossed he gets it xx

Finally emptied our honeymoon suitcases what a pile of washing I have and with the weather just miserable I'm kind of putting off putting the washing machine on lol

Put some kilt stuff on eBay last night and someone has bid on a item already :T looking for extra pennies for the boys birthday seeing as they share a birthday just 7 years difference and hubby wants to get youngest a electric car :cool: so any money made will be put towards this xx

Kids are playing DS at the movement and I need to check the bank as rent and council tax and other bills come out today plus dh gets paid today so need to juggle the money about lol xx

Hope everyone is well xx

Couldn't put it off any longer had to do a food shopping went to Aldi's a overflowing large shopping trolley cost us £82 :T wouldn't get that in the big supermarkets so only need to get a bag of chicken from far foods during the week and that's us sorted but cupboards freezer and fridge are overflowing with food so that should last us a whle

On other new......... HUBBY GOT THE JOB :T:j:T:j:T

It's only a extra 70p a hour but that's until he's completed his training then its bumped up to £10 a hour plus time and a half for any overtime and theirs plenty of that and £250 a month bonus if the dealership hits target I'm soooooooo proud off him he's amazing at his job and hell be working with one of his good friends xx

Need to order my daughters school stuff so far my basket on asda online is for £44 which for 9 items isn't bad considering its 12-13 size clothing need to get dh to transfer money over to my account xx

So now hubby has got the job it's monthly pay :mad: which I prefer but his job just now is weekly so this means for this month it's going to be tight as obviously he's not going to be paid til the end of the month but with the two boys joint birthday things are going to be extra tight this month xx

Haven't a clue what were doing today my lazy family are still in their bed but I'm up with little dude who's been fed and changed and railing around all the furniture xx

Mortgage savings are on the up so far we have £601 in there was hoping for more but we can start putting more in there at the end of the month xx

Evening

Been a busy couple of day not been feeling too not either constant headache for two days but it seems to have passed now thank god xx

Daughters high school uniform arrived and it fits her perfectly so I think we are done for her and just need to get my son some pencils for his pencil case and he's sorted to so at least I'm organised on something xx

Was working today and our town was holding a play day int the park took £24 with me plus a packed lunch and plenty of snacks for 5 kids :eek: yes 5 kids so at least they never cost me nothing nipped into asda on way their for me to get crisps and a ww sandwich for myself as I ran out if bread to make me anything lol and a drink for myself too so spent £5 there didn't spend nothing at the park as everything was free kids had a blast and are now home to their mum abso knackered lol xx bought kids ice cream and a loaf of bread on way back so all in all for the whole day I spent £7 :j which for all those kids and how they eat and drink was an a achievement xx

Going to my mum in laws tonight to pick up my baby Kk as gran stole him for a couple of days (gives me a chance to catch up on ironing exciting I know lol :rotfl: ) and she's making us dinner so at least I don't need to worry about feeding everyone.

Got a phone call yesterday saying my inspector for my childminding will be paying me a visit next week so need to make sure all my paperwork is in order as my last inspection was a disaster due to one little munchkin but he won't be there this time so hopefully ill be fine...........hate inspections as I know I'm good at my job but when someone is in your home and you feel there judging you I kind of fall to pieces xx

Anyway enough rambling from me hope you all well I'm off to see if hubby is back home from work xx

Bit of a spendy day today had to but a new over the door hook as I've buckle the last one in my room so that was £2.99 in B&Q then off to asda to get ww sausages, Philly, crisps and cheese so spent £13.41 in there nipped into homebase to get my juice as they were selling it £1 a bottle saving me 49p a bottle :T so bought three and a couple of drinks for me and DD so spent £4.58 in there bought 7 birthday cards for £1 in card factory as its my sister in laws birthday tomorrow also bought her a pretty butterfly necklace from new look, my daughter picked it thought it was £4.50 got to the checkout and it was reduced to half price :T:T bargain xx

It's a beautiful day here got my second load of washing out now and another in the machine xx about to tackle the garden need to dismantle the old guinea pigs run seeing as bob decided to put the barbecue on it and burnt the top to a cinder :eek: so need to get rid of it before my inspector calls next week.

Filed my tax return yesterday and I owe no tax :j always a bonus so that's other bit of paperwork out of the way xx:p another million bits of paperwork to go xx

Right off to sort this garden before the guy who cuts my grass comes round tonight xx

One of hubby's mums friends gifted us £100 for our wedding so this will be going straight into the mortgage fund so this brings us to £701/£10000 :T no bad for a wedding lol xx

Well today is a nsd so far my eldest son is away on a trip with the school he's been going all week this is last day so it was a early morning rise this morning as he had to be at the school at 8.15 this morning :eek: but he's been looking forward to it so that cost me £1 aww just realised I haven't had a nsd today oh well at least it's only £1 lol

My mils birthday present for my baby who is one in less than two weeks:eek: arrived today it was a lego house you build for outside in your garden was £180 down to £44 so she got a bargain so need to find somewhere to out that now :rotfl: bouncy castle is booked for their party costing us £60 but that's for the whole day so fingers crossed its a nice day but if we need to cancel because of the weather then the company I'm hiring it from says if we cancel because of the weather there's no charge :j so that's great news xx

Caught up on some childminding paperwork whilst the little one had his nap so that's my risk assessments menu planners And medication forms all up to date just need to do observations, weekly planner and a couple of other things as well then I'm up to date on my paperwork. Also renew my Scottish ILA account where they give you £200 a year which is great managed to get my first aid course and 4 online courses last year and it never cost me a penny hoping it comes in quick as I've put my name down for a food hygiene course which costs £55 so hoping not to pay for it if I can help it.

So the plan for today is tidy up a bit more of the house (with a crawling baby behind me) see if I can get any more paperwork completed and change my bedding xx found some more things from the wedding that I can sell like two bridesmaid dresses and the boys outfits that they probably won't wear again so will be putting them on this weekend.

Oh and also found our baby's birthday present £10 cheaper with free delivery so need to tell the hubby that as this need to be ordered ASAP xx

Hope you're all well and having a nice day :cool:

Morning

I'm knackered had a rough night with the baby he got up at 1 screaming didn't go back down til 3 and was up at 7 so I'm bushed lol

Plans for today get the stuff to the tip dismantled a dodgy swing set and a old rabbit run garden looks much cleaner now so that my garden sorted for my inspection :j only got a couple bits of paperwork to do so nearly done so just need too blitz the house today on lack of energy

Need to nip to asdA for some bits for Monday and B&Q for some drawer locks as baby has discovered he can open them wee monkey xx so probably a bit of a spendy day xx

Hope your have a nice Sunday xx
